Well-to-Wheel (WTW) emission intensity of freight using IATA RP1678 methodology. Each airline participating in the IATA carbon offset program uses its own dataset of real fuel consumption data. Retrieved from the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting. (2019). This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.
